Persons authorized to enter ECQ, MECQ, GCQ zones identified

Malacañang on Tuesday enumerated the qualified persons who can enter areas that are placed under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ), and general community quarantine (GCQ).

Individuals allowed to visit places under ECQ, MECQ, and GCQ are health and emergency personnel, government officials and front-line personnel, humanitarian assistance actors, and persons traveling for medical or humanitarian reasons, said Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque in a virtual presser aired on state-run PTV-4.

Roque said persons going to the airport for travel abroad, returning or repatriated overseas Filipino workers and other overseas Filipinos returning to their residence, and other people transported through the national government’s efforts can also go to areas under any form of community quarantine.

“Pinapayagan pong mag-biyahe ang mga sumusunod sa kahit anong form of community quarantine (They are allowed to travel to places under any form of community quarantine),” Roque said, based on the government’s interzonal and intrazonal movement guidelines.

Citing the interzonal and intrazonal movement guidelines, Roque said the movement of all types of cargoes by land, air, or sea within and across areas placed under any form of community quarantine should remain unhampered.

He added that a maximum of five workers in the logistics sector like cargo, trucking courier delivery and port operations would be allowed to transit across areas where ECQ, MECQ, and GCQ are imposed.
